George | Paraphilosopher
https://deripocock.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/george
June 13, 2013. George came staggering into our lives when we were house-hunting in Westville. We had been living aboard a sailing catamaran for several months, but imminent winter made it clear that we’d be cold that year. Then our house in Milton Keynes was sold. So we had funds for a deposit and started looking for a small place. George’s house was on the shortlist, so we went to look. Well shouldn’t we get him down , and sort of check he’s dead? You said he was! Don’t you know what a stiff looks like?

Flatfish | Paraphilosopher
https://deripocock.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/flatfish
June 13, 2013. Did you know that in the lifecycle of flatfish (flounders, plaice, sole, etc) that the infants swim upright like any normal fish? It’s only as they mature that one eye migrates to the other side of the head, and they swim with one side down. According to that esteemed source of all good things, Wikipedia:. Are all flatfish right-handers? Or perhaps there are a few left-handers? Perhaps one in ten flatfish may be lefties? In flatfish world, do the righteous flatfish pick on the lefties?

Screaming our joy as the yacht plunged down the face of those rollers and buried her bows in the trough before rising in majesty for the next wave. Ignoring the keel’s ton of lead waiting to drag us down upon making the slightest error. Scared and intensely happy. Adventure is like that, isn’t it? Or are you dreaming like me of someplace or some thing more to experience? This entry was tagged adventure.

Set 3 Goals – Blogging 201 Assignment. November 2, 2014. 8220;You can never go home”? I do it all the time. In my head. In my heart. In my soul. In my dreams. It has been almost 40 years since I was a resident of Canada, and longer since I left my family home there.

Incredible Shrinking Woman | Paraphilosopher
https://deripocock.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/incredible-shrinking-woman-2
July 18, 2012. In 1963 I cried for JFK. His assassination silenced a voice that I thought spoke for me, a voice that spoke of universal rights, personal freedom. He was the champion of my world, facing down the USSR. And saving us from total immolation as we hid beneath our school desks. He offered a vision beyond our world, challenging mankind to put footsteps on the moon and to leap for the stars. The parties were fantastic, with colourful clothing attempting to express the pschychadelic trips of desig...

Newer posts →. Set 3 Goals – Blogging 201 Assignment. October 20, 2014. Goal 1: to increase the frequency of postings – I may not have all that much time left to build a monument. Goal 2: learn to use my new camera, and organise my images. Or I could wear a really heavy gold earring as sailors used to do – to pay for a proper burial. Goal 3: make some postings about plans, then make later postings about how the plans worked out. If possible. Newer posts →. A Seasonal Cook in Turkey. Turkey From The Inside.

About | Paraphilosopher
https://deripocock.wordpress.com/about
This is me, in words and pictures. I plan to tell you about the people, places, and topics that I care about. Why do I use “Paraphilosopher” as a title? I am not trained or educated in philosophy, I have not read (yet) Nietzsche, Kant, or Socrates. I like Emerson, Whitman, Adam Smith and some others, but not in any academic way. But I tend to have a ‘philosophical’ attitude. Ah, well. 4 thoughts on “ About. October 19, 2014 at 4:03 pm. If you would like to participate in this, please see my post:. It wou...
